Descripción general

LocalBuzz is the local expert, and a great online resource for finding information and insights on businesses and retailers. Every month we help many thousands of consumers find valuable local business information from driving directions and hours of operation to Web links and customer reviews.

We aim to be relevant & helpful for our users, enabling local businesses and consumers to find each other and connect.

We are a small, hard working team and we enjoy what we do and have fun doing it.

Cuéntanos a qué tipo de público quieres llegar

Our target market is mainly the US, but we would like a design which can work equally well in other English speaking jurisdictions (UK, Australia ).

In terms of user profile it is fairly broad as you would expect for local search - typically this means adult users, male or female from various demographics and age groups but we're keen to focus on the 20 - 40 age bracket

Requisitos

The current site is due for a design revamp. Please use the existing design just as a reference point for functionality , nothing else. No pre-requisities in terms of company logo or colors, all elements of the design can be modified from the current version whilst maintaining the functionality as it is now (same functional elements such as search, maps etc. but their order / location on the page can be changed)
Feel free to be creative with the design, we want a fresh, new look in keeping with web 2.0 developments - simple to use, uncluttered, attractive, professional but at the same time modern (young & fresh)
